Set each of your monitor RGB input and sync switches (if available) to 75 ohms, with the sync
set to “external”. These controls are usually switches on the back of your monitor.

Cause

If display problems occur after the startup screen of your operating system, your software
monitor settings may be incorrect.

If your primary display is still usable,

see “Monitor setup”, page 8

Cause

monitor doesn’t support. This can happen if a monitor was never selected in the software and
the display resolution was changed to one your monitor doesn’t support, or if the monitor
connected to your computer was changed without it being changed in the software
